Gelendzhik

Gelendzhik combines the energy of a Black Sea resort with the rugged character of the western Caucasus foothills, reflecting its position on sheltered Gelendzhik Bay. The town follows the curve of the bay, where a waterfront embankment links beaches, cafés and parks beneath wooded slopes. Founded in 1831 as a Russian military fort, Gelendzhik later developed into a major holiday destination on the Krasnodar Krai coast. Prehistoric stone dolmens in the surrounding foothills add a much older layer to the area’s story. See how Gelendzhik fits into the wider Black Sea coast by browsing webcams in nearby towns.
